[TRANS] Taeyeon ㅡ 1st Look Magazine Interview

Spoiler

Transcribed text provided below:

This is a welcome meeting that was saved for a long time. This is your first time after you started solo promotions. I especially had a lot of anticipation for what kind of appearance you'd show since it's a beauty photoshoot.

I'm also really happy meeting <1st Look>. It seemed fans were also anticipating a 'legendary photoshoot' to come from it? I enjoy various types of makeup. I was really excited today, shooting cuts with different vibes, from 'fruit like beauty' (t/n: meaning like, refreshing) to elegant faces. We also showed makeup that has the vibes of a 'flower' that's fully bloomed. I like it because it seems to suit this season well.

You're also acknowledged as a 'CoDeok (cosmetic fan)', right?

It's probably to the point where, if you took all the makeup in my room right now, you wouldn't be able to use them all in a lifetime, even if you use them diligently. If I'm just bored and don't have anything special going on, I go to a cosmetic shop and play. I look to see what's new and try applying this and that. I'll get the products outa t home and do my own testing as well. Playing like that is my way of relieving stress.

It seems you normally like attempting different transformations. You must not have many hesitations when it comes to expressing things?

I always welcome new challenges. When I'm faced with bold suggestions, I want to handle it in 'my way' and put it forth greatly again. Whether it's makeup or styling, attempting things are always fun. Photoshoots in particular are created by putting my head together with experts in various areas of work, so I think it's even more exciting. At times like that, rather than putting my opinions forward first, I listen to the various opinions and compromise. I enjoy that process of going towards a result together. I also gain expert know-hows or insight into things I didn't know. Today was also really meaningful work in that aspect.

From group activities to solo album activities, you've shown really a variety of styles depending on the song's concept of mood. Your elegant and polished appearance shown with 'Fine' is particularly memorable for me. What was your most satisfying appearance?

Personally, while preparing my new song, 'Happy', that released this month, just like the title, I wanted to deliver the most 'happiest' feelings. As a result, I think it was expressed as well as I wanted it to be. When it comes to 'Spark' that I showed last fall, it had a challenging vibe. I expressed an assertive image, but that actually wasn't easy. We reviewed a number of directions. Fortunately, through a great number of discussions, we were able to complete a passionate 'Spark' with the harmony of hair, makeup, and outfits.

What style does Taeyeon normally enjoy, not on stage?

Natural or carefree? Honestly, as many people know, I'm mostly at home. I'm usually in pajamas and barefaced.

Since it was brought up, I'm curious as to whether 'homebody' Taeyeon's sensible 'stay at home' life is like.

You know how they say there are various types of 'homebodies'? I'm the type of diligently move around inside my home. When I wake up in the morning, I do a face pack, and then go around looking for things to do from that moment. Other SNSD members have been cooking a lot lately, but I honestly don't have a lot of interest in cooking. Instead, I work hard cleaning. I divide the areas and would clean my closet one day, bedroom another, and the bathroom another day. Like that. Just organizing my vanity makes a day pass quickly. Or, I'll scribble on paper, transcribe words that I like, and chat and play with my dog and spend the time, too.

Your facial expression looked quite happy when you're together with your dogs. I feel like 'Zero', who lives with you, is a really big existence to you.

Whenever I go out to walk Zero, it makes me think that it's not me taking Zero out, but Zero taking me out for a walk. It feels like my day is full and has variety because I have Zero. He makes me say one more thing and move one more step. I can't express how much of a thankful and lovable existence he is. I don't feel that I'm just giving him love and affection from one side, but that we're communicating and sharing emotions living together. I think Zero also trusts me as a 'friend', rather than a 'mom' or 'owner'. It seems we're becoming good life partners by sleeping and waking up together, and sharing experiences.

Like you, Zero's popularity is tremendous. Honestly, I look at Zero more than you on SNS. As someone who knows Zero the best, could you tell us a bit more about Zero's charms that we may not know?

Um, Zero has a very cute and lovable image when you just look at him, right? But, honestly, he has quite the temper. Haha. He has a great attachment to his toys. When he brings it over and starts having a fit, it's immense. He's really animated and active. I can't capture that a lot because I'm busy following him around, but I'll reveal his true character in detail soon.

I've been listening to your song 'Happy' on endless repeat lately. It has somewhat of a different vibe from the songs you've released previously, but it gets stuck in your ear comfortably.

Like the title, I wanted to fully share 'happiness.' The lyrics and melody are easy and bright. I was actually planning on releasing this on my birthday, but, due to circumstances, it was postponed for about 2 months. Still, happiness can always take place in our hearts. Through this song, I hope I and others are reminded of and put 'happiness' into their hearts again. I'm trying to get good thoughts and warm feelings at least once by singing this song. I also hope this song will be 'sweet to your ears', and that you 'melt in the temperature'.

As a fan who loves Taeyeon's voice, I'm grateful that you diligently release songs, but OST work or music variety show appearances are also welcomed. With that, your participation in <Begin Again> last year was a surprise and so nice.

It's a program that also left me with lots of meaning. Honestly, busking is a physically and mentally difficult work, but you can realize and learn new things you can't feel on stage. Working with other great musicians was a valuable experience, and sharing emotions singing in the most closest setting with the audience was also special. I gained so much that the hardships weren't a waste.

Lots of people choose you as the greatest vocalist. You're relaxed and are exceptional at controlling [your voice]. Your vocal color that grabs the [listener's] heart with the first word is captivating. I feel like, aside from being naturally born with it, there's something else.

I'm not sure. First, I think finding your own color and expressing it is the most important. In another way, I think you need to diligently work with and communicate with the general public. Usually, even when I'm spending time at home alone, I consistently watch music shows, and look for and listen to music from this age. I also watch content like popular variety shows and dramas. I try not to miss what it is that people are enthusiastic about, desire, and hope for.

Idol group members expand their territory into various areas, besides their group activities. In comparison, you've been pioneering down one road consistently, and very successfully. You must have many thoughts while promoting.

As time goes by, I think I've gotten more of a sense of responsibility. That my actions aren't just my own. So, I think that's why I'm always acting cautiously and carefully. Even while promoting solo, I can never remove the 'SNSD' name, so I try to make my path with responsibility, thinking of my members, fans, and juniors.

I feel like you'd feel reassured because you have members who always sincerely encourage and cheer you on.

Now, our relationships is like that of an inseparable, really close family. We're that close, so we try to be more mindful and try [to] take care of each other that much more. Because they're the most precious people to me. As time piles on, I think we need to be more special and careful with each other, rather than becoming dulled. Just like how I actually try to take care of my family more, not thinking of them easily and comfortably. SNSD members' existence is one that always gives me a good nervous feeling. They're grateful people who make me want to work harder and do better.

Along with the time, the influence of fans has also probably become heavy.

Lately, when I think of my fans, I strangely get choked up. There are complicated, grateful, regrettable, fond feelings that can't be easily explained with one or two words. Changing perspectives, I wonder what I would think of myself, and us if I was them … Anyway, I get choked up with these complicated emotions, and I'm at a loss for words whenever we meet. Expressing your feelings to someone is honestly quite a difficult thing. Even more so trying to consistently maintain that for a long time. I want to tell the people who have unchangingly, constantly looked for, adored, and loved us. Just the fact that they've been with us, I'm thankful for that.

Recently, you've been using SNS a lot, and I saw you actively communicating with fans.

Yes. Even intentionally, I try to share my feelings by showing them myself a lot more from the same eye-level. Also, at settings where I meet fans, I see long-time fans who are getting older with me. And there are consistently fans who come wearing school uniforms. The age range of my fans has expanded. Then, I need to expand that much more, too. I need to fit with those of recent times, and I need to make an effort to approach them a bit more. Thanks to them, I've been studying new words and 'new cultural items' (laughs). I'm expanding the chances of communicating directly.

What do the days that Taeyeon will be drawing out in the future look like?

Like what I've done until now, I'm going to do music activities to let people hear my voice in various ways. Also, as long as it's possible, I'm going to try to create lots of settings where I can meet with and be in harmony with fans. The touching feeling and energy you get from concerts is more amazing than anything else. I want to hurry and taste the ecstasy that you can only feel on stage that you pour all your passion into again. Honestly, I've desperately been feeling the value of moments lately more than ever. The time that passes by now will never come back. Today's me and yesterday's me. This year's me and last year's me are clearly different. It's the same with epople who are around me. Today's voice. Today's thought. Today's feelings, letting them flow by is a shame, so I think that's why I want to promote fully. I want to continue to spend every moment fully. I hope everyone else will also be devoted to the feelings and relationships they have now. More closely, more honestly, more often, let's meet.

Girls’ Generation’s YoonA, Park Jung Min, And Lee Sung Min In Talks For New Film

Girls’ Generation’s YoonA, Park Jung Min, and Lee Sung Min may be starring in a new film!

On June 9, Xportsnews reported that YoonA, Park Jung Min, and Lee Sung Min are considering joining the film “Miracle” (literal title) as main characters.

The same day, all three agencies confirmed that their respective actors are positively considering the film.

“Miracle” will be a fictional movie based on a true story. Based in the 1980s, the film will tell the story of Bo Kyung, the older sister of math prodigy and high school student Jun Kyung. They both live in the roadless countryside of North Gyeongsang Province. With the help of his girlfriend Ra Hee, Jun Kyung works together with Bo Kyung and the village people to create a train station.

YoonA is in talks to play Ra Hee. The Girls’ Generation member has been active as an actor, starring in the 2017 film “Confidential Assignment,” the 2019 film “E.X.I.T,” and the 2017 drama “The King Loves,” as well as being confirmed to join the upcoming JTBC drama “Hush” (working title).

Girls’ Generation’s YoonA Shows Her Hobbies And How She Spends A Day Off
(Source: Soompi)

Quote

Girls’ Generation’s YoonA guested on tvN’s “On and Off” (literal title) and showed her daily life!

YoonA shared, “After my film ‘E.X.I.T,’ I’ve just been spending time in my ‘off’ state. I thought that if I just let time pass busily, I won’t know how to do anything, so I’ve been studying Chinese, baking at home, and taking my pet dog on walks.”

The episode began with a clip of YoonA baking cookies to give to the staff at a recording for a commercial. She personally handed out the cookies and shared that she gets in a good mood when she works hard together with the staff members.

The show then aired footage of YoonA walking her dog Rae-O and spending a day meeting her friends and acquaintances.

The first acquaintance she met was a translator who worked with her during her appearances on Chinese variety shows. YoonA told her that although she eventually passed the intermediate HSKK (Chinese oral proficiency test), it was only after she had failed once by one point.

YoonA then went to meet her next acquaintance, a close friend of 17 years. She explained, “I have five friends I’ve been close with for 17 years. They’re like family.” She visited her friend and helped her out with her work. YoonA pointed out that the paint on her bathroom door was flaking too much and offered to paint it for her. Together, they took the door off its hinges and placed it against the wall in a good position for painting. YoonA mixed red and white paint to create a lovely pink color, and together they transformed the flaky white door into a new pink one. After the hard work, they sat down and chatted over some somaek (a beer-soju cocktail).
